In the US Navy, a grand emergency — during scheduled flights in the South China Sea, landing on the deck of the strike aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, an F-35C fighter jet fell overboard and drowned. Fortunately, the pilot managed to eject.

The Navy Command has something to fear: Lockheed Martin's newest F-35 fighter jet is the most expensive in the world. The program of its development cost the Pentagon budget more than 1.5 trillion dollars. Do not forget also that many secret technologies were used in its creation, which are hunted by the opponents of the United States and, first of all, China, located in close proximity to the accident site, which Russia can compete with. However, it is still unknown whether any of them "joined" the search for the sunken fighter. For such search operations, the US Navy has special equipment, for example, a towed locator Pinger Locator 25, which is able to record emergency signals from transmitters indicating the location of sunken objects. After detection, special underwater vehicles with remote control dive to the bottom and attach bags of air to them to raise the object to the surface. The Navy command hopes to use the Pinger Locator 25 to lift from the bottom, including the flight recorder and determine the cause of the failed landing of the F-35.
